Quick-Launch Documentation
The FunMouse QuickLaunch toolbar is a quick and convenient way of accessing and launching your favorite programs without first having to open the start menu / screen. The toolbar can be customized with 22 of your own shortcuts from the settings tab in the FunMouse settings program.
The toolbar can be shown when touching the very bottom part of your task-bar (Default), from an extra button assignment, mouse gesture or hotspot shortcut. As with everything else in FunMouse, the feature can also be turned off completely.
On first install the toolbar will display the icons you see in the screen shot above. As you add more shortcuts, the width of the toolbar will grow until you reach the maximum of 22 custom shortcuts.
This section is where you can configure your own shortcuts to programs you want the FunMouse QuickLaunch toolbar to launch. Shortcuts can be configured with the FunMouse settings program on the settings tab or by simply performing a right click on the shortcut you want to edit.
When you left click on the system clock on the toolbar, it starts a stopwatch. To pause the stopwatch, left click while it is running. To start again, left click again. To reset and show the system clock, right click
When a scheduled reminder or event such a birthday or anniversary is coming up withing the next week, the reminder icon on the left will appear on the quick-launch toolbar.
Hovering over the icon will give you a quick preview of what's coming up and when. (see toolbar with green text in image above). When you click this icon, the events preview toolbar will be pinned. In pinned mode you can click on any event displayed to edit or delete the event.
A progress bar will also be displayed indicating how many days are left before the event takes place.
The system icons provide quick access to some of FunMouse's more prominent features.

When this number is 0 FunMouse will check for new mail immediately when you click the number without waiting for the mail check interval you specified on the settings tab of the FunMouse settings window. When this number is above 0, clicking it will pin the mail tool bar.
